 To all in NLRS land.......I do understand that Matt can rub some folks the wrong way with his comments about VHF FT8, but unfortunately many of his comments are certainly right on the money.This coning January contest in a couple weekends I won't even be bringing my 2 Meter SSB radio.  Would be waste of space and time.Most all of my contacts as Rover I expect now will be FM.But I will still be out there having some Rover fun.  Just have to change my plans and hit lots of Repeaters in many different areas to find folks willing to try making simplex contacts.  Matt, I will be giving you a holler on your repeater.Thanks for being such a reliable, fun contact over so many contests over the years!!And I hope as well, to connect with many other NLRS folks via cell, text, spotting and repeaters to get you in my log as well on 6m, 2m, 220 and 440,Thanks all !!

   Hi all,

Well maybe it's time to tell the government to cell our vhf bands.

Just let the hams have the only frequency they want for there ft8.

It's clear to me now that the ham radio is out right frequency hording.

You can't tell me that  only getting on one little sliver of the band 
is  good use of it.

Could it be time for whistle blowing?

we need to have the activity if your going to continu to have the bands 
we have.

So start giving back analog  activity.

You can have your ft8 to but come on it doens't have to be everythihng.
